Chapter 1350 The unpredictable battlefield
The fierce power of the spell illuminates the deep starry sky as bright as day. Under the night sky, the dazzling rose color and the dim green color complement each other, constantly stirring up one soul-stirring energy wave after another.
After the troll army's collective spell Bone Erosion Fall fell over the flower fairy army, the flower fairies did not let the green light curtain pouring down from the sky last too long. Immediately, giant flaming magic beams shot out from the camp one after another, which quickly dispersed the black clouds covering the sky above their heads and disappeared.
After breaking the trolls' spell with the force of thunder, the chanting of the flower fairy army became louder and louder, obviously continuing to pursue the victory. Not only did they summon dozens of giant flower knights, but the already astonishing rain of rose arrows was fired at full power, whistling towards the equally huge troll army one after another.
Under the unstoppable attack of the flower fairies, the mountain giants summoned by the troll camp were howling and falling under the siege of the giant flower knights, and the absolute defense barrier that was flashing with eerie green light was also rapidly dimming, looking shaky.
"As expected of a flower fairy, her magic power is undoubtedly the most powerful among these four armies."
Feeling the fierce wind that continued to stir the fortress's barrier wall, Broy adjusted the crown on his head and couldn't help but exclaimed,
If the enemy attacks the Waterfall Watcher Fortress with all their strength at this intensity, the absolute defense barrier that has just been restored here will undoubtedly not be able to withstand it for too long, and it is even possible that it will shatter at the first touch.
"That's true. In terms of long-range magic attacks alone, the flower fairy is unmatched among the four armies, and she does have the capital to be so arrogant."
Shuerte stroked Muxu gently and nodded slightly.
"How can you help boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? In my opinion, it's nothing special. If the wood fairy was at its peak, it would be no less powerful."
Chris's clear voice was filled with a hint of disdain, and she pouted her lips as she said, "Hiding your strength is the truly wise approach. With your powerful magical prowess, you are acting so high-profile on the battlefield. Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue blown away by the wind?"
"Your Excellency, the Wood Elf Chief, is too kind. We have no intention of boasting about the other party. We are just discussing the matter at hand. The dwarf elves are not afraid of any opponent."
Broy collected his thoughts and responded to Chris.
"That's right. Although the flower fairies are quite powerful, just like what the wood fairy leader said, this is a turbulent battlefield. Everything changes in the blink of an eye. The temporary strong ones may not necessarily be the final winners."
Shuerte's wooden face was full of calmness. He was still stroking his beard and looked at Lei Xiao again, asking, "What does His Majesty think?"
After Shult finished speaking, Chris and Broy also looked over.
In the center of attention, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes, staring at the other side of the giant valley where the wind and clouds were rising, and nodded slightly, saying, "I agree. It seems that the situation on the battlefield is really going to change."
"Oh?"
Hearing the sound, everyone refocused their attention on the fierce battle between the flower fairy and the troll.
Under the increasingly fierce attack of the flower fairy army, the troll army was almost left with only struggling to hold on. Not only were more than half of the mountain giants destroyed, but there were even tiny cracks appearing on the absolute defense barrier. It was obvious that they were at the end of their strength.
"Is the outcome going to be decided? It looks like the troll army can't hold on any longer!"
Broy stared at the battle without blinking and said, "Trolls are notorious in the Outlands. If the flower fairies can teach them a lesson, it will undoubtedly be a very gratifying thing!"
After hearing Broy's voice, not only Shult but also Chris nodded helplessly.
If she had to choose a winner between the flower fairy and the troll, she would obviously prefer the distant cousin who only knew how to show off.
On the long walls of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, not only the leaders Lei Xiao and others, but also our strong men and soldiers around them were all staring intently, watching every move on the battlefield.
"Everyone, don't you think something is wrong?"
Just when most people were expecting the troll line to collapse, Lei Xiao's voice suddenly rang out again.
"...Your Majesty is right. Something is indeed wrong."
Shult's old eyes sparkled with wisdom as he echoed, "The actions of the troll army are clearly a little unusual."
"abnormal?"
Broy stood on tiptoe, carefully examining every detail on the battlefield.
Under the fierce attack of the flower fairies, the mighty army of trolls was like a lone boat drifting in the wind and clouds, and seemed in danger of capsizing at any time.
After all, the flower fairy's long-range attack was too powerful, and the troll, whose long-range strength was relatively weak, was undoubtedly completely unable to fight back.
"I think I've discovered something unusual!"
Broy reacted quickly and blurted out, "Although the troll's long-range strength is not as good as the opponent's, its close combat is extremely strong. In this passive situation, it should take the initiative to close the distance with the flower fairy to turn the passive situation into active. At the very least, it should retreat to avoid the sharp edge. Why is it almost standing there motionless and getting beaten?"
"You're right. The flower elves' absolute defense barrier is better at defending against spell attacks, and the front line cannot move when the group spell is cast. If the troll army took the initiative to close the distance, they would never be in such a miserable state and the front line would not collapse at any time!"
Chris's starry eyes widened and she echoed.
“Unless the trolls’ seemingly shaky and imminent collapse is just an illusion.”
Lei Xiao took over the conversation and concluded: "In other words, the trolls are deliberately showing weakness."
"Deliberately showing weakness?"
Broy looked at the turbulent scene in the distance, and suddenly he understood and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that the trolls are doing this to delay the flower fairy army, or to attract the flower fairies' attention?"
"My Lord, if the troll army's crumbling is a deliberate appearance, in order to attract the attention of the flower fairy army, then why did they do this?"
In this kind of summit meeting, Louise, who had not had a chance to speak, finally couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be that the trolls have allies?"
"That's right. Don't forget that this is not just a contest between the trolls and the flower fairies."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "We will know the answer soon."
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, Sean's surprised report came out through the telepathy.
"Your Excellency, a large army that has just emerged from invisibility has suddenly appeared not far from the side of the flower fairy line. Judging from the flags, they are minotaurs!"
"To be more precise, this is the vanguard of the Minotaur army! Because the even larger Minotaur army is just a few kilometers behind this vanguard!"
Since Lei Xiao directly turned on the speaker, everyone heard the latest battlefield news clearly.
Just as Sean was reporting nervously, as expected, on the side of the glittering flower fairy camp, thick brown lights suddenly lit up, making the night sky, which was already as bright as day, have an additional dazzling light, and a tremendous momentum also surged. This was obviously a sign that the magic circle was unfolding.
As the deep and rich chanting of the Minotaur magicians echoed, dozens of giant brown bulls that were as powerful as dragons quickly formed and rushed madly towards the side of the flower fairy.
Since the vanguard of the Minotaur was extremely close to the Flower Fairy, almost casting spells right at her face, in the blink of an eye, the giant bulls, staring at the huge horns with deep textures, had slammed heavily into the side of the Flower Fairy's absolute defense barrier.
For a moment, the collision of the giant bulls shook the earth and the sky. The roar like the sound of beating drums echoed in the sky, and even the fortress walls began to tremble.
"It is indeed the sixth-level golem puppet magic halberd giant bull summoned by the Minotaur! Judging from the momentum, the Minotaur must have concentrated all the fourth-level elite legions in the vanguard, which is why they can make such a big move!"
Broy's eyes widened and he said, "If our inference is correct, it looks like the trolls are going to make a renewed effort!"
Before Broy finished his words, the troll army, which seemed to be at the end of its strength, suddenly glowed with dark green and dark blue light. Not only did it summon a large number of mountain giants to rush over, but the dark clouds of the Bone-Erosion Fall also gathered again above the flower fairy line, covering the sky and the sun.
Not only that, the troll army that had been hesitating also began to advance in a large-scale manner, attacking the flower fairy line with great force. The deafening shouts of killing that were filled with murderous intent were even heard clearly by Lei Xiao and others.
After the sudden attack by the Tauren vanguard and the frenzied counterattack by the troll army, the flower elf army, which had the advantage just now, was obviously caught off guard. After standing there for a moment, they decisively chose to stop the group spell and began to retreat while fighting back, and did not confront the opponent head-on.
This is no wonder, as the Minotaur army will arrive soon. Under the situation of being attacked from both sides, even if the flower fairy has powerful magic, she will never be a match for the two armies.
Seeing that the flower fairies were retreating, the trolls and minotaurs became even more aggressive, with more attack spells and arrows whizzing in from different angles. Coupled with the charge of the puppet giant bull and the corrosion of the bone-eroding drop, the originally shining absolute defense barrier of the flower fairy army quickly dimmed.
It can also be clearly seen that the troll army and the tauren vanguard are cooperating closely with a clear division of labor, and are besieging the flower fairies from both ends. This was obviously planned in advance.
From the position of Lei Xiao and others, although it was difficult to see the specific expressions of the flower fairy soldiers, they could also keenly feel that the morale of the flower fairies was declining sharply, and they no longer had the unstoppable momentum they had just now.
"So, the trolls and the tauren have really formed an alliance?"
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was reversed almost instantly, Chris frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
It was not until this moment that she fully understood that what Lei Xiao had just said about the battlefield situation being about to change did not mean that the flower fairy was about to defeat the troll, but that the flower fairy herself was on the verge of collapse.
Looking at the army of flower fairies retreating in a panic, Chris clenched her fists tightly, and even her wings trembled slightly.
Even though there had been some conflicts between the secret realm of the peak forest where she was and the flower fairy, and they had almost no connection with each other, now seeing that the flower fairy was at a disadvantage and had fallen into the opponent's conspiracy, she couldn't help but feel nervous, with mixed feelings.
"I didn't expect that the Tauren would actually form an alliance with the Trolls. After all, although the Tauren are known for their stubbornness and irritability, their style of doing things is not as cruel and violent as the Trolls. They even despise it. It's hard to imagine that they would actually stand together."
Next to Chris, Broy frowned and thought about it.
"This can only prove one thing, that is, the Tauren and the Trolls obviously have a common goal, or interest. In this case, instead of going their separate ways, it is better for them to work together to eliminate other competitors first."
Shulter narrowed his old eyes and nodded slightly, saying, "This is undoubtedly a very wise approach."
"Work together to eliminate other competitors first? So, is their common goal the unknown key we summarized before?"
Broy stroked his chin gently and said, "What is the key point? It is so surprising that the Tauren and the Trolls, two forces with completely different styles of behavior, chose to join forces."
"Whatever the key is, we are getting closer and closer to the correct answer."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and continued to keep a close eye on every move of the battle.
At present, three of the four armies have appeared one after another, and it can be confirmed that the trolls and the tauren have formed an alliance. It seems that the flower fairies have no allies at the moment, and they obviously did not expect the former two to join forces, otherwise they would not be so embarrassed.
In other words, the only uncertainty at this stage is the dragon army that has not yet appeared.
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly intense.
Under the frenzied siege of the troll army and the tauren vanguard, accompanied by a series of deafening explosions, the flower elf army, which was originally fighting and retreating, suddenly had flames shooting up into the sky from behind, and everything was in chaos in an instant. It was obvious that during the retreat, they had triggered a large number of magic traps that had been deployed in advance by the opponent.
Under the ravages of this fierce magic explosion, the already shaky flower fairy's absolute defense barrier finally began to show visible cracks, and spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.
The next second, a crisp and loud shattering sound was heard, and the absolute defense barrier above the flower fairy camp shattered, allowing the massive attacks of the trolls and minotaurs to fall on the flower fairy line without hindrance. Everywhere there was a deadly magic glow and a mixture of earth and rocks stirred up by the explosion.
For a moment, wailing and screaming began to stir in the flower fairy camp, and at this moment, Sean's hurried report sounded in Lei Xiao's ears again.
